Richard Nimijean

I joined the School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies in 2001. I research and teach in the areas of Canadian Studies, Canadian politics and public policy, national identity, branding Canada, Canada-US relations, and Canada and global issues. Previous work looked at regional innovation systems, science and technology policy, and scholarly communication.

My research focuses on the phenomenon of branding Canada and the politics of the brand state, including the intersections of Canadian politics and society, national identity, and public policy.
